Property Description
Crafted intricately to balance both beauty and purpose, ODIN represents not only a remarkable luxury estate, but also a singular artful residence, elevated to a higher standard of living, and thinking. Infused with the inspiration of the Norse God Odin, this architectural masterpiece embraces the harmonious convergence of his roles in ancient mythology, ruling over both strength and wisdom. Emulating the commanding heavenly fortress of the Norse Gods, ODIN erupts from a spacious and lush property, offering a gated sanctuary where tranquility and grandeur coexist. Mixing the traditional lines of a quintessential farmhouse and the modern textures of luxe stone, shaded wood, and flowing water, ODIN’s impressive exterior immediately intrigues the senses, only to be amplified further within the home’s roughly 18,000 square feet. Upon entry, the grand entrance reveals soaring ceilings adorned with intricate Scandinavian-inspired woodwork, paying homage to Odin’s followers. Sunlight dances through the floor-to-ceiling windows, highlighting the architectural staircase and illuminating the open-concept living spaces that seamlessly flow from one to another. The stately formal living room, sophisticated dining room, and regal library are offset by the more informal, yet equally as divine, aspects of ODIN, including a plush theater, glass enclosed wine cellar, and secondary living spaces. Included within these spaces is the great hall, reminiscent of a dignified manor, which beckons individuals to gather, while an expansive imported stone fireplace adds warmth and comfort to the ambiance. Perfectly adjacent to the great hall is the gourmet kitchen, featuring top-of-the-line appliances, one-of-a-kind seamless cabinetry, and a commanding center island, all enveloped by walls of glass, overlooking, and opening to, the verdant property. A Junior Olympic pool, complete with sunken fire pit and spa, stands as the focal point for the rear of the property and main outdoor lounge areas, while the tiered yard provides an upper level area dedicated to yoga and meditation, a raised organic garden, and an idyllic play area. Maintaining the feel of a sacred sanctuary, a state-of-the-art wellness center stretches both indoor and outdoor, with a sauna, steam room, outdoor plunge pools, dedicated shower, and relaxation space. Alongside its deity inspiration, the pillars of Nordic design flow throughout ODIN, focusing on functionality, simplicity, and craftsmanship. These principles can most notably be seen in the utilitarian use of space, prioritization of natural light, clean-lined angles, light-toned wood, and exquisite stone surfaces, placed to showcase their brilliance while always serving a functional purpose. The primary suite epitomizes these elements, showcasing the grandeur of the space with a cedar-clad vaulted ceiling, a private living area with bar, two expansive custom closets, walls of streamlined glass, dual spa-grade bathrooms, one outfitted with sleek neutral tones and the other with dramatic darker finishes, and a nod to Scandinavian culture with a striking central chandelier crafted from antler replicas. The various secondary bedrooms are all strategically laid out across ODIN, maximizing privacy, while still maintaining a natural flow and functionality, each having its own thoughtfully designed ensuite bathroom. On the lower level of the residence, entertainment and intrigue abound, with a dedicated art gallery, bowling alley, entertainment bar, plush theater, and fitness area. Outside, a custom sports pad is wrapped in privacy hedges and optimized for both pickleball and basketball. Dual garages and an ample motor court provide space for more than seven automobiles, all shielded behind a high-grade home security system.
